For people who have (blessedly) not read the electoral count act: Hawley objecting to slates will just increases the amount of time of the process will take. Almost certainly will not change outcome.

Here’s how it will work (Thanks legal experts/crs reports)/1 https://twitter.com/hawleymo/status/1344307458085412867
Objections have to be put in writing and have to come from a senator and a lawmaker in the House. With Hawley saying he will object those requirements will be met. Once objections are submitted, each chamber breaks and debates for (approx.) 2 hours (ish)/2
any PROPOSED changes (if there are any) will be subject to MAJORITY vote in each chamber. Dems control House, so it’s a non-issue there - even if some members are unable to make it b/c of covid/etc. In the Senate, enough in GOP have acknowledged Biden’s win to block changes/3
